I bought your plans for the Democratic Rocker... Is the top part of this chair seat and above the same as the rocker?

Hello Curtis, I just found your channel and this was the first episode I watched. I like to watch shop tours because it tells me how the craftsman maintains their work space and your shop was spot on. I’m recently retired but a long time woodworker but had no time. Now I have the time but limited income. One reason why I mainly use hand tools only. I also enjoy restoring tools and amazed how an old tool still works. Anyway I have always wanted to build a Windsor chair so I hope I can gain some knowledge by following your channel. Look forward to watching your videos. New subscriber.

Great video. Thanks Curtis

I ordered your plan from the website, can you respond me

Please, please, please, I think you are very good but your accent and speech are not good. Most of the time you are just mumbling. This is especially bad on video No 2

thanks

Hey Curtis, great to see you. Thanks for this, it’s very helpful. I built Pete Gilbert’s rocker a while back and the rockers turned out….okay but not great. I especially appreciated how you make the bottoms flat to the floor, I had difficulty with that. All the best

I forgot to say that making it the board long enough to reach through both slots while sanding guarantees that the slots are parallel.

Hi Curtis, Nice video as always. Another chairmaker also took a slightly thinner board than the rockers and attached sandpaper across one face and edge and fine tuned his slots that way. Thanks, Steve First

Almost perfect timing! I am building this rocking chair right now - from your plans - and just finished installing the rockers. While I was doing it I wished you had a video on your process. Fortunately, I muddled through and my method was much like yours - watching all of your previous videos so many times rubbed off I guess. Thank you.

Always a wealth of information, presented in a way anyone can understand

Fantastic video. Thanks for being a constant wealth of information.

thank you

Good to see you on UA-cam again.

A joy to see you back on UA-cam Curtis. Very happy memories of your first series.

I've been thinking about you the past few weeks. There's a Virtual Railfan camera over at the Chuckey Depot Museum, and whenever I see Jonesboro show up on the VR youtube channel I naturally think Curtis Buchanan. Always a pleasure to see your tips & tricks explanations here.

Ciao Curtis. It's always a great pleasure to see your clips... this one, particularly, made me wonder when I'll have the privilege to build a chair. I will eventually, probably only when I'll be on pension... I am learning from your clips meantime... Thank you so much for taking the time to teach me. Max.

I just thought of you today!! I was going to come back to try the democratic chair build. I love you're work sir, and I'll be moving to the united states soon, so I hope to see if there's a way I can learn from you.

Crazy question time, could you attach blades to a Windsor chair???? Just thinking

What a wonderful and profoundly inspiring series. I admire your explanations of details which could easily confound most of us. Thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge and talent Alan, England

dun ruined the lawn there

👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

Learning a “method “ is priceless. Attention to detail all the way through! Thank you

Experience is king ! Man , thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights . Wealth of information!

Hi there, I was wondering if you could share a link or a good website for the Swedish holding system you used when you hogged out the seat with Adze? That looks like a back/neck saver!

Great job Curtis! I really enjoyed the series.

That is a beautiful rocker; that red and black really pops. The continuous arm is very inviting, it seems to encourage one to sit and enjoy the comfort it offers.

I can hear your tool singing! What a joy to use the appropriate tool for a job that's tuned just right!

I just love this section of making the seat!! I swear Its almost good as sex! The curves; the interaction of muscle, blade shape, sharpness; matching seat contours with conceived body contours, the color&grain of the plank, as it yields to me! I could do it all day long; just leave the jazz on, don't talk to me, leave me alone and let me reveal this gorgeous feist for the eyes!

love the train!

Love your videos and knowledge! Do you have or be able to make a video of the tools you have and your tool storage? Always have been curious about that. I know you show your tools but it would be neat to see them all. Thanks!!

Just finding your videos. Learning a lot. Thanks!

For some reason this just gave me a notification. The spokeshave looks therapeutic. I can see how that’s fun.

Great video 👌

This was fun to watch. I’ve built 3 of your comb back arm chairs from your DVD’s which I don’t need to watch any more plus about 25 others, sack backs fab backs and oval backs. But at 85 I think my chair building is about done. Thanks for the vicarious pleasure.

Amazing!

Hi Curtis- Have you ever done a chair where you dyed and stained the seat but then painted with milk paint the rest of the chair? Are the dyes/stains compatible with the milk paint?

What is the bevel in degrees?

Curtis, it is not often I am impressed, interested yes, impressed rarely. Your work is impressive! Your explanations are clear. Well done!

Кертіс, привіт з України! З якої деревини в робите стільці?

made perfect sense to me the first time. Thanks for the great videos!

There does not appear to be any skewness to your skew chisel.

Hi there Curtis, I’m loving your videos! Thank you for sharing. I just started chair making and after spending the weekend with Rob in the UK at Spoonfest in Edale he recommended your videos. Said he visited you at your workshop some years ago. Veritas make a great pencil for marking up green lumber and they’re available in the UK👍

Great except that the guy filming is making smacking noises into the mic, which is distracting.

Feels like chatting with an old friend whenever I watch Curtis in his shop. I've learned so much

Where do I get a set of those custom organic wedges?

How long since the log was cut??

Thanks Curtis

Hi Curtis, just got the Democratic Chair plans printed out and have gathered some tools. I did purchase a heel shave. Initially I was planning on sawing the handles off to get the clearance needed for the seat - but I’m wondering if it’s also possible to heat the handles in order to bend them up at all? I’m not sure with the cast body if that is metallurgically advised, as I’m unsure if the steel used for these cast tool bodies is malleable enough. Thank you for all that you do Curtis!
